Hand, foreign media reported that China Grain Reserves 960,000 tons last week ordered the U.S. genetically modified corn, a record sum of at least two years, the largest maize import orders recorded the other hand, 'genetically modified corn carcinogenic' pilot operation had duly responded questioned again called breaking the 90-day trial of genetically modified restrictions, found that the use of genetically modified herbicide-resistant maize NK603 test mice fed with high cancer rates, said transgenic liver, kidney and breast will definitely have an impact. Yangcheng Evening News reporter yesterday interviewed found that the majority of corn sold on the market are not labeled genetically modified, while the number of brands of edible corn oil is made clearly marked(http://www.best-news.us/).
French scientists have genetically modified corn and then forwards
According to << Daily News >> reported that 'the rat carcinogenicity genetically modified maize' pilot operator Sierra Lini recently in Beijing to attend the GM food safety international seminar skeptics raised again refuted .2012 9 month, French scientists and their colleagues in the Sierra Lini << >> Food and Chemical Toxicology published an article using herbicide-resistant GM maize NK603 test mice fed with high cancer rates, the test mice appear pong size tumors. Subsequently, the trial concluded quickly encounter many questioned the French National Academy of Agricultural Sciences Dean pointed out that this study lacked sufficient statistical data, the experimental methods, data analysis and conclusions are flawed, respond more genetically modified crops public risk - benefit analysis, conduct more interdisciplinary study of genetically modified crops, with particular emphasis on animals and humans to study the long-term effects.
In this regard, Sierra Lini countered that, at present, there is a requirement of GM trials, that 90-day trial proved safe mammals can be eaten, but its team in the world for the first time exceeded 90 days reached a two-year time line. Cyprus La Lini said: 'We can see that the two-year period 50 rats 34 organs are increased, we did 200 mice experiments ..(Shanghai Station News http://www.best-news.us/).... Our conclusion is that the transgenic liver, kidney and breast certainly will have an impact, is unsafe, we want to stop using. '
Market of genetically modified maize was no marked
Ministry of Agriculture said that at present, the national agricultural genetically modified organisms safety committee review, it has already approved the four kinds of genetically modified crops import safety certificates, including genetically modified corn. While China's Ministry of Agriculture recently released information shows that last year alone, Monsanto, Pioneer international companies such as Syngenta GM maize varieties approved by the Ministry of Agriculture import purposes are 'used as feedstock.' Previously, there have been COFCO, New Hope and other large enterprises import of foreign genetically modified corn.
Reporter yesterday visited the market found that the sale of corn farmers' markets are not marked whether it is genetically modified, stall owners told reporters that they do not know whether it is genetically modified products in the China Resources Vanguard Supermarket, the reporter found, Fortune, Arowana, longevity flowers golden embryo corn oil, are specially marked products as 'non-GMO squeeze.' blend oil, sunflower cooking oil more power marked its five kinds of raw sunflower seeds, corn, sesame, peanuts, flaxseed are non-genetically modified ingredients. Arowana II edible oil, natural grain blend Fortune, marked only raw food off the three soybean transgenic rapeseed.
In this regard, Xu Zhuo record information analyst corn seedlings told Yangcheng Evening News reporter, from the United States imported 99% of genetically modified corn, but corn oil is currently the basic domestic corn crush the domestic production, domestic transgenic maize degree is not obvious The According corn MSG producers say they can not use the imported corn processed food products, imports of genetically modified corn is currently the main use is as feed. Ministry of Agriculture also said that in addition to the approval of genetically modified cotton planting outside, including transgenic other crops, including corn uses only raw materials for processing. Department of Agriculture said that China has not approved any genetically modified food crops planted seeds imported into the Chinese territory, so to see on the market of genetically modified maize is unlikely.
GM maize for feed safe?
Although the market did not see clearly labeled as genetically modified corn and its products, but the growth of genetically modified corn has been unstoppable.
According to the International Agri-biotech Applications Service Organizations (ISAAA) released a report, in 2012 the global transgenic crop area of about 170 million hectares, an increase of 6% over 2011 according to acreage statistics, about 35% of the corn is genetically modified According to data provided by Zhuo record information show that China in 2006-2010, the annual volume of imports of corn -80 million tons in 350000, but from the beginning of 2010, corn imports began the year amounted to 1.57 million by leaps and bounds .2010/2011 ton, 2011/2012 amounted to 1.75 million tons, while the 2012/2013 year will reach 5.21 million tons. Insiders even expected, China's imports this year may reach 7.2 million tons of import quotas. Xu Miao said, China about 90% of imported corn from the United States, which has about 90 per cent of genetically modified corn that is, about 80% were imported maize genetically modified corn.
Requirements according to the NDRC, genetically modified corn is allowed only for animal feed, and fully enclosed run, non-grain circulation in the market.
In this regard, there are unidentified industry sources, as reflected in the Sierra Lini test questions have to pay attention. Domestically, the current GM maize are mainly used for animal feed, being allowed to grow, however, If you think that growing and eating is not safe enough, then it is difficult to guarantee for animal feed on animal and human body without harm, in addition, Sierra Lini trial also raised a question, the industry had a 90-day trial period that no safety concerns whether it can guarantee real animal consumption more than 90 days there is no problem. The source said that the relevant authorities must make its interpretation. Sources Yangcheng Evening News)
